UI3-274

Version 274

• Modified a few usages of newer JavaScript syntax recently added that caused syntax errors in old browsers like IE and those on Smart TVs that haven't updated their browser in a very long time.

UI3-273

Version 273

• Improved the icon used when UI3 is added to the home screen on iOS.
• Renamed the Convert/Export List to Convert/Export Queue and updated its behavior to match changes made by Blue Iris over the years:
  • The Convert/Export Queue dialog now instructs the user to open Clips > Clipboard to access finished exports.
  • The Convert/Export Queue dialog now allows the user to click on queued exports in order to cancel them and remove them from the queue.
  • The Convert/Export Queue dialog now expects finished items to disappear from the queue instead of expecting them to be reported as "Done" (which hasn't happened in quite some time).
• Load manifest.json from the web server root (appPath) even if UI3 is hosted in a subdirectory, that way the manifest file does not fail to load due to needing a session.
• Tweaked HTML5 video player stall detection code in a way that might reduce false alarms on Android devices.

UI3-272

Version 272

• Added PTZ control via Gamepad (experimental) to UI Settings > Extra. Not enabled by default.
• The "Import All Settings" button in UI Settings > Extra now links to ui3/storageinfo.htm to facilite the import using a modern file upload interface that does not require the user to copy and paste a large string.

UI3-271

Version 271

• Overscroll is now explicitly turned off at the root of UI3, working around an issue with vertical swipes on iOS when running as a Progressive Web App (PWA).

UI3-270

Version 270

• Fixed bug where the timeline would fail to render if the Side Bar was set to hidden on the timeline tab and the UI was in portrait layout.
• The Status Area is now hidable on each UI tab individually.
• The setting to show/hide the Side Bar on the Timeline tab has been removed as it was now redundant with the Status Area toggle.

UI3-269

Version 269

• The Side Bar is now hidable on each UI tab via settings in UI Settings > Side Bar. [#166]
  • The System Name button can be configured to toggle sidebar visibility. See UI Settings > Top Bar > System Name Button Action. [#166]
• The System Name Button Action setting has been moved from the Extra section to the Top Bar section. [#166]
• The Side Bar Position setting has been moved from the General section to the Side Bar section.
• The top bar layout has been revised to be more efficient with its use of space. [#166, #177]
• Added UI Settings > Top Bar > Save Snapshot Button so users can hide this button. [#176]
• Added UI Settings > Video Player (Advanced) > Darken Video While Loading so users can turn off this behavior. [#175]
• Added UI Settings > Video Player (Advanced) > Spinner Animation While Loading so users can turn off this behavior. [#175]
• Added UI Settings > Status Area > Show Status Area in Side Bar so users can hide this panel completely. [#174]
• Moved the Status Area section of UI settings to a new position to improve organization.

UI3-268

Version 268

• Fixed a bug in the implementation of the OverrideDefaultSetting method's IncludeInOptionsWindow argument (used in ui3-local-overrides.js files).
  • This argument's value is now persisted when you have UI3 generate a new local overrides file (as was originally intended).
  • Calling OverrideDefaultSetting with IncludeInOptionsWindow set to false no longer is irreversible; you can call it again set to true to re-show a setting that was hidden by an earlier call during the same UI3 instance.

UI3-267

Version 267

• Fixed bug where UI3 was unable to mark alerts as AI confirmed or cancelled, and unable to show the appropriate icon in those cases.
• Added clip/alert list icons for person/vehicle and cancelled alerts.
• Added toggle switches in the UI Settings > Clip / Alert Icons section for all icons that didn't have toggle switches already.
• This release includes an internal redesign of Clip / Alert icon code for better maintainability and extensibility via a new clipIcons global object.

UI3-266

Version 266

• While playing a clip or alert, context menu (right-click menu) items are now available to set the start and end frames for export, same as in the Blue Iris local console.
• The idle timeout, when enabled, now has a minimum timeout period of 0.5 minutes (30 seconds) to prevent accidental misconfiguration causing UI3 to be difficult to use due to an excessively short idle timeout.
• Fixed logic error in deciding whether to show the top bar shortcut buttons for various clip list views.
• Fixed character encoding of a few symbols in the help file.

UI3-265

Version 265

• Reorganized UI settings in the Video Player section and moved several settings to a new section: Video Player (Advanced).
• New settings have been exposed in the Video Player (Advanced) section to allow users to configure the amount of video delay required to show a warning or automatically restart the stream.

  • Network Delay and Player Delay warning thresholds are individually configurable between 0.05 and 30 seconds.

  • The threshold to automatically restart the H.264 stream is configurable between 1 and 180 seconds.

  • At this time, the default delays match previously hard-coded UI3 behiavor.
